Bracknell Ice Skating Club Newsletter - August / September 2004
Changes May Not Be So Bad
Members probably already know that our regular Wednesday Club Night has changed to Tuesday night, writes club chairman, ROY WELHAM.
Although we do not want the change, we have not lost any ice time and the change of night could encourage more skaters to join.
This is because local schools have backed the Wednesday Skating After School session which will introduce more young people to the sport … and every one of them is a potential club member.
Therefore we must ensure as a club that we get the best publicity and facilities etc for the club so that we get champion figure skaters and dancers at Bracknell.
It is also important that we get maximum use of club ice whether it be club patches, club competitions or Opens. These all need to be well-attended otherwise other ice users will be looking to take over our ice.
I really think that the changes could be a positive move to progress figure skating for the future. It is up to us. Figure skating has always been a very friendly sport so if any of you meet any of the After School skaters, please make sure they know all about BISC.
The new After School session will have the same rules as a general public session which means hockey skates can be worn and coaches can give lessons, but pupils won’t have any priority as they do on patch ice.
We are starting a new season and I wish the best of luck to all. Make 2004-5 a good one!
Skaters Show They Are Game For a Laugh
The club’s second annual fun competition night proved almost as
popular, and crazy, as the first with skaters of all abilities
taking to the ice.
Sadly, despite a waltz choreographed specially for the event by coach Wendy Day, a Shadow 14 Step and a number of other suitable classes, the event did not appeal to many of the club’s dancers.
However those who did take part seemed to have a good time and once again there were some interesting results in some of the classes.
